2 is correct!
The ultimate reality
{ 1 } - is dependent.
{ 2 } - is the source of all beings.
{ 3 } - is explained by other realities.
{ 4 } - hangs from another being.
{ 5 } - is brought into existence by another being.
See page 22. Since a source of a being is an explanation of it, something on which it depends, the ultimate reality must be the source of all beings.
